craigjames Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 the adaptor you need is dependent one 1. the make of disc brake you are going to buy and 2. the size of the rotor. generally if you are buying new then you get the correct adaptor for the supplied rotor. on a stock 180mm ish and 200mm ish are the most common sizes. what brakes are you looking at?

Front magura isant bad with good pads you will get the same braking power as a disk plus they're alot lighter i run front magura at the moment and i love it its up to you though if you care more about looks or if you care more about weight your choice regards Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnnBee Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 right bell master for a 26 inch bike you need a disc of 180mm or more. the discs that are 160mm are ment for 20 inch bikes. hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
